Define "didn't work"...I would think either should be fine.

Default With the Koni's my car would bounce like a pogo stick. Because they are adjustable

I tried 3 settings from soft to firm and it made very little difference. Not enough dampening...

Default I had the same problem on my A4 (H&R/Koni)...

I'm not sure how they were set. I swapped them for Bilsteins and they were better, but the H&R Sports are little stiffer than Eibachs, so I got some extra rebound over certain bumps/dips. I would imagine that the Eibachs will work pretty well with the Bilsteins. I have MTM/Eibachs and stock shocks for now on the S4. I may switch to Bilsteins eventually (or H&R coilovers, when they are available for the Avant).

My Koni/Eibach set-up worked fine.
